IT WILL COST A LOT TO PREPARE ROADS FOR WAR

VU. S. to Decide Which Need

Reconditioning to Bear Mechanized Units. By BRUCE CATTON

Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (NEA) .— If you're vacationing in the family

bus this year, you may spend your | two weeks whizzing along the road | to war. Officials of the Army Engineers | Corps and the Bureau ot Public Roads are putting their heads to-

gether to decide just which roads they are, and how much reconditioning will be necessary before they can bear the stress of mechahized army units When conferences now going on | establish which are the strategic highways, road builders will know how big a slice of the defense appropriations they want. Right now they're working with | the $191,000,000 appropriation sup- | posed to see them through 1941. Congress has authorized $178,500, 000 | for 1942 and an equal sum for 1943. | Tt will cost a lot more than that | to condition United States roads for | wartime trafiic.

Army Needs Direct Routes

A mechanized mobile army needs | good roads, routed to avoid city] traffic, and as direct as possible. Earlier this year, Congress for the | 20th. consecutive vear rejected a | proposal to build six transconui- | nental supertoll highways. Cost was | estimated at $202,270 a mile. A mile of highway such as you speed over on your coast-to-coast motor trip costs ahout $30,000. There are few innovations in the science of roadbuilding. Asphalt, | gravel, cement, crushed stone and tar are the popular materials today, as they have been for many years. Salt, molasses, glucose, burnt clay, cotton, rubber and even tin cans have been suggested as road ma- | terials. All have proved impractical | or too expensive. Road building machinery and processing have improved. Because of a new process which grinds ce-| ment ‘finer, concrete roads are twice as strong as they were in 1920.

Twenty Years Ago—

Twenty years ago it was neces- | gary to grade from one to two years | to allow for settling before the final | surface was laid, Now improved tractors make the road bed compact as soon as it is laid. Roads of sand, clay, gravel, chert and shale are cheap, but not strong. | Macadam roads are middle class in| the opinion of road engineers. Bi- | tuminous concrete, cement and | bricks are considered high type materials. A few years ago gravel roads were! rated high only in nuisance value, | but modern surface treatment has | improved them. Clay sub-soil is the worst possible | base; best is a mixture of sand and | gravel. The thickness varies. An| adequate gravel bed for Alabama | might be six inches thick, while in | Vermont the gravel base should be a foot thick for adequate weather

Missing 4 Days

Times-Acme Photo. Miss Patricia Cain, 21-year-old horsewoman daughter of a wealthy mayonnaise manufacturer, was being sought in eight states today. The only clue police had since she disappeared Sunday at dinner time from Melrose, Mass, was that she “hitched” a ride from Stoneham to Andover on Monday.
